Tod’s lighter case is in route and has been overnighted to make it by his BIRTHDAY!! I cannot believe he still hasn’t found out about this website! In fact… I don’t believe it, so what I’m showing is not his lighter case, it can be yours for as little as $80.00 (just the case for…

One of the tools I’ve found absolutely invaluable for sculpting in clay are… well…they look like paint brushes but the tips are rubber and come in varying sizes and shapes. The brand I found at my local art supply store are Royal Sovereign LTD. They say “clay shaper” on them, but a quick interweb search…

When we first bought our home I had a great art space; an entire room where my projects were strewn about in nobody’s way. But in preparation for the arrival of our son, my art space was downgraded to a nook. When my wife’s mom came to visit, the “art nook” became a makeshift bedroom…

I was showing a friend my Dino Skull Buckle trying to explain my feelings about it. My interest in dinosaurs started at a young age and was spurred on by museums, TV shows and movies – Jurassic Park. Back then, I had even entered a “computer creativity contest” with a dinosaur picture I made. This…

I got my brass powder in the mail and worked out a couple belt buckles last night. If you’ve seen the Dinosaur Belt Buckle in my gallery, say “bye bye” cuz he’s getting an upgrade! I give you… Cold Cast BRASS dinosaur belt buckle! It’s still made with the same liquid plastic compound but with the addition of…

Well boys and girls. I’ve mailed Amy’s lighter off to her. In fact, what I’ve mailed her is the first reproduction from the mold. She was really diggin’ the clear look, so I buffed it up with some “exra-fine” steel wool and shipped it off with a few additional finishing touches. After talking it over…

I’m on Twitter now! I know quite a few people who are unfamiliar with this service, so I thought I’d share what I’ve found. I’ve already contacted a few other artists and sculptors on Twitter who have blogs and pictures and all sorts of knowledge to impart. You can also “twitter buddy” me with that…

Cakes, showers, dresses, flowers, planners, favors, chairs, tables, invitations, and rings… What do all these things have in common? If you put the word “wedding” in front of them, it increases it’s cost substantially. It’s incredible to me how much wedding paraphernalia costs. Believe me, I know first hand. My wife and I planned a small get together on the beach…

If this weekend was a bad weekend for casting from newly made molds – nobody told me! I lined em up, sprayed ’em down, filled ’em up, and popped out a few pieces. It’s a bit more involved than that, but you get the idea. What we have here are the 3-part-molds for the top…

I’m spent some time testing the molds I made… As you may recall, the blue 3-part mold had not come out as well as I’d hoped, so I was very interested to find out what it would make. I have yet to complete the mold for the second half of the lighter case, so I still…
